Purchased Tuesday 12/22/20.

Day 3 of ownership 12/24 - rained overnight and leaking back glass with service appointment scheduled for Monday.

Day 5 of ownership 12/26 - at 361 miles - check engine light, text from onstar and email that vehicle must be serviced within 7 days - code P026C.

 

I hope this is not a sign of things to come for sure.

Mine sits waiting for parts - P20C1, DEF tank heater. 20K miles. This is the second CEL with limp mode warnings.

In 1450 miles of ownership:

 

I had a slight DEF leak. They replaced the DEF injector and while in the service bay, they noticed and fixed an engine oil leak at the oil filter adapter. They replaced the adapter. No leaks now.

 

My only remaining issue is a rattle in the dash when first started up (cold engine). It goes away in about a minute of driving. I haven't taken it in for that one yet. It's a known issue (on the Duramax forum).

At 315 mile CEL came on with error code P026C (Chevy 3500). Took it to the GM dealership the next day. They said this was a known issue and GM was investigating. They cleared the code and sent me on my way. Within a few hours, the CEL came back on. Frustrating....apparently this is a common issue with the Chevy 2500/3500's and GMC 2500/3500's.

My 2021 Chevy 3500 Dmax has had check engine code PO26C started at 4K miles now passing 6k. Dealer can’t fix it. Also displaying PO22FB and P2AOO codes now. Already had it in the shop 3 times for this. Loss of time and couldn’t tow anything for 2 weeks so far this year. I’m very grateful for their little loaner cars but they don’t  replace a one ton work truck.

Has anyone had this recurring P026C check engine code resolved yet?  Have a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 Dmax as well that was purchased out of state due to no inventory in CA...threw a code on the way home to CA and now it can't be registered in CA due to smog requirement.  Spent $80k + on a truck that can't be registered.  I have GM case number assigned but getting ahold of anyone at GM is nigh to impossible.

check #20-NA-197:  this notice is for several trouble codes, fuel pressure sensor connnector may be poor connection.

good luck.

8,500 miles and my CEL is still on. PO26c. Corporate and the Dealer are just passing the buck back and forth. I may call in a Lemon Law Attorney and then try a different brand. Only possible during the first year of ownership! After that you’re at the mercy of GM. They don’t seem to care what happens.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
